Young Indian player dies after fielding collision
Print Edition
Tragedy struck Indian cricket yesterday when a 20-year-old player died as a result of a freakish on-field collision with a teammate during a club match in the eastern city of Kolkata.
Four months after Australia cricketer Phillip Hughes died after being hit by a bouncer, Ankit Keshri, a former captain for his state鈥檚 under-19 team, battled for three days before passing away at a Kolkata hospital.
Keshri, a right-handed batsman and leg-spinner, came on as a substitute fielder for his club and collided with a teammate as both players went for a high catch. He briefly lost consciousness but was resuscitated by a teammate, following which, he was rushed to hospital. According to doctors, Keshri鈥檚 condition was stable but he suffered a cardiac arrest around midnight on Sunday and died early yesterday morning.
In November, Hughes passed away at the age of 25, two days after he was struck in the neck by a bouncer with the incident sparking a massive outpouring of grief across the world.
